School teams are composed solely of students who attend a Catholic elementary school.
Parish teams are made up of Catholic parish members as certified by the Pastor of the Church. A parish team may include up to 2 non-Catholics and 2 Authorized Pool Players.
No, school teams are only open to students enrolled in the school.
Since its inception CAL has maintained a policy of not making up weather related cancellations. The rationale behind this policy is that not all CAL members have access to facilities on which to schedule games, many rely upon CAL to find opportunities for them to play through the scheduling process. CAL does not have access to facilities on which to hold make-up games either. Consequently, to treat all teams fairly, the ranking of teams in all sports is based upon winning percentage. This does not require a team to play its entire schedule in the event games are cancelled due to the weather by CAL officials. This policy was reviewed by the CAL Rules Committee and the CAL Board in 2018 and was upheld for the reasons outlined above.
